Hi,
current fontconfig configuration[1] sets the highest priority for Microsoft font. If user install them (i.e. Times New Roman, Arial, Consolas) they will be set as _default_ for respectively families (sans-serif, sans, monospace). Why do we promote Microsoft fonts instead support open fonts, shipped with system?
I propose[2] to downgrade those fonts. Thanks to this, we keep our default font settings but those MS fonts will be still available for use.
Whats Your point of view in this case?
Are you sure that the free fonts have the same quality – even if anti-aliasing is disabled? I remember ugly characters with free fonts unless I would use bitmap fonts and that's a no-go IMHO. My suggestion is: Set the best quality fonts as default. Those that do not want to use MS fonts simply do not install them. There was a reason to prefer those fonts and AFAIR it was quality or lack thereof regarding the free fonts.

The goal is: to not set those fonts as _default_ and not to get them rid off . Why Joe when install i.e. Consolas font should get it set as default monospace font? Maybe he want's only to use it in a single program? -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik openSUSE Community Member GPG: 5FCE 7241 B3B9 32FD 455B C30E 42D6 6C88 9E83 7C3D
